St. Clair Detrick-Jules

  • Ragtag Cinema 10 Hitt Street Columbia, MO, 65201 United States (map)

When St. Clair Detrick-Jules’s little sister Khloe was four years old, with tears running down her face, she told her father that she hated her afro because her white classmates were making fun of it. St. Clair’s anger turned to sadness, which then turned into joy – this was an opportunity for her to teach her little sister that her curls – like everything else that came from their Black ancestors – were beautiful. She spent the next two years photographing and interviewing 101 Black women with natural hair. The result is My Beautiful Black Hair: 101 Natural Hair Stories from the Sisterhood. Come and listen to St. Clair discuss this journey and present her gorgeous book.
